Called 3 times on the same object or once on 3 different objects?

Called by your code or called from any of the validateForXXX methods?

Is this D2W on form submission and then later on on save again?

Put a breakpoint on that method (you might want to override it for this purpose) and check the call stack (and object id, obviously) like

public Object validateAccountNumber(Object aValue) {

return super.validateAccountNumber(aValue);

}

Hope this helps you further.

I have an attribute accountNumber with a validation method:

public Object validateAccountNumber(Object aValue) throws ValidationException {

As I test things, I stuck a log that prints to the console “validateAccountNumber called”. I am just checking on things working.

What I see in the console is:

validateAccountNumber called
validateAccountNumber called
validateAccountNumber called

Why is it called three times? I am sure the answer will be obvious, but I don’t see it.
